Semi Truck Weighing: Types of Scales Explained

0
332

Various types of scales are used to weigh semi-trucks, each serving different needs and applications. The most common ones include:

  • Weighbridges: These large, fixed platforms are commonly found at weigh stations and freight hubs. Trucks drive onto the scale for a full-vehicle weight measurement, making weighbridges ideal for high-traffic areas requiring precise and efficient weighing.

  • Portable Truck Scales: Designed for flexibility, portable truck scales are easy to relocate and set up, making them ideal for temporary sites or businesses that don’t need a permanent weighing solution. They provide reliable weight readings while allowing mobility.

  • Axle Weighing Scales: These scales measure the weight of each axle or axle group separately. Often used alongside weighbridges, they help ensure compliance with legal axle load limits, preventing potential overloading fines and vehicle wear.

  • Wheel Weighers: Compact and highly versatile, wheel weighers allow trucks to be weighed by placing each wheel on an individual pad. They are particularly useful for quick axle weight checks without requiring the entire truck to be positioned on a large-scale platform.

Each type of truck scale serves a unique purpose, ensuring accurate weight measurement for safety, compliance, and operational efficiency.
